Global Carbon Farming Market Driver:

Increasing Need to Accurately Measure & Verify Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems - Carbon farming entails technologies, such as sensors, satellites, machine learning algorithms, etc., to measure & monitor carbon sequestration in soil & vegetation. The ability of these technologies to provide more accurate & cost-effective methods for measuring & verifying carbon sequestration and to get access to carbon credits & other financial incentives is leading to greater adoption of this farming among farmers. As a result, several digital farming providers, such as Indigo Ag, BASF, Bayer, etc., are increasingly establishing partnerships, collaborating, and launching new solutions in the global markets to gain emerging revenue growth opportunities.

Additionally, the effectiveness of Carbon farming in helping farmers optimize their agricultural practices by providing real-time data & insights to improve productivity, reduce inputs, and increase yields, is widely encouraging the adoption of this farming method. Hence, these factors are anticipated to propel the market growth during 2023-28.

Global Carbon Farming Market Possible Restraint:

Lack of Standardized Protocols & Methodologies for Measuring & Verifying Carbon Sequestration - Carbon farming involves complex processes, and accurately measuring & verifying the amount of carbon that has been sequestered is a high-investment procedure. Presently, there are no standardized protocols or methodologies for evaluating & demonstrating carbon sequestration, which makes it challenging for farmers to trust & invest in carbon credits generated from Carbon farming projects. This lack of standardization has also led to inconsistencies & discrepancies in the carbon accounting process, which has somewhat restricted the full-scale adoption of this farming, specifically in developing countries globally.

In addition, the market is still relatively new & there is limited knowledge and understanding among farmers, landowners, and investors about the potential benefits & opportunities. This has created a barrier for companies in the market to generate demand & revenue for their products & services. However, as companies such as BASF, Indigo, etc., are launching various training programs to educate farmers in both developed & developing countries about the benefits of Carbon farming, the challenge is presumed to no longer hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Global Carbon Farming Market Growth Opportunity:

Rising Awareness Among the Farmers for Precision Agriculture Practices - The surging adoption of digital technologies & precision agriculture practices by the governments of various countries in the agriculture & forestry sectors, such as remote sensing, satellite imagery, and machine learning to optimize their land management practices, is anticipated to act as the key opportunity for the revenue growth of the market. Additionally, the launch of various projects, programs, and policies by the government of the UK, the US, Canada, etc., would widely promote the adoption of Carbon farming practices for sustainable economic growth. For instance:

  • In 2021, the University of California launched the “Carbon Mapper Project” to map carbon emissions & sequestration at high resolution using satellite data & machine learning. The project would provide valuable information for carbon farming initiatives, enabling more accurate measurement & verification.

Thus, the implementation of varied projects to increase the awareness & adoption of carbon farming among the farmers & forestry departments would contribute to the expansion of the market in the forecast years.

Global Carbon Farming Market Key Trend:

Rising Tendency Towards Accumulating Carbon Credits - The rising adoption of Carbon farming practices to avail carbon credits, owing to its advantages in providing financial incentives to the farmers & landowners to adopt carbon sequestration practices, is a key factor driving the market growth. The credits are a way for companies & other organizations to offset their CO2 emissions by supporting projects that sequester carbon, which can be sold, thereby providing a new source of revenue for farmers & landowners. The ability of these credits to offset the costs associated with adopting these farming practices, which often involve upfront investments in technology & equipment, has further promoted the adoption of digitalized tools for Carbon farming.

Moreover, the launch of various initiatives by the government of the US, Canada, the UK, China, and India, etc., is widely encouraging the adoption of this type of farming. Furthermore, carbon credits help to create a market for CO2 sequestration services & encourage the development of new & innovative technologies & practices. Therefore, further driving innovation in the industry, as well as enhancing the market growth in the following years.

Global Carbon Farming Market (2023-28): Segmentation Analysis

The Global Carbon Farming Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends & influencing factors in each segment & includes predictions for the period 2023–2028 at the global, regional, and national levels. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on the Component:

  • Hardware
